Senator Grace Poe was among the senators who signed the Senate blue ribbon subcommittee draft report that supports the filing of plunder charges against the Binays.
Senator Koko Pimentel III, talking to Radyo Inquirer earlier, said four senators have already singed the draft report against VP Jejomar Binay, and his son Makati Mayor Junjun Binay.
“Ang naka-signed ako, Senator (Antonio) Trillanes (IV), Alan Peter Cayetano and Senator Grace Poe,” Pimentel said.
According to the senator, Poe signed just two days after he filed the draft to its mother committee.
“Pumirma! Kapa-file ko lang nyan Wednesday, naka pirma na agad noong Friday so mabilis yun… ibig sabihin binasa agad,” he said, referring to Poe.
Pimentel said he was not surprised why Poe singed the draft report that quick.
“Hindi ako surprised kasi…inaa-update ko s’ya sa resulta kasi seatmates kami. Magkatabi kami ni Grace.. kinukwentuhan ko s’ya so updated po si Senator Grace Poe kaya nu’ng sinabi kong may partial report na ako, binasa niya, after few hours pumirma na siya,” he said.
He added that the draft report only needs at least nine signatures among 17 members before it becomes an official report.
The plenary will then approve or reject the report.
The senate probe on the alleged overpricing of the Makati City Hall 2 parking building was pushed by Trillanes and Cayetano.
